Trains that transform mobility

In a world facing increasing environmental challenges, rail transport stands out as the most efficient and eco-friendly option. At CAF, our commitment goes beyond building trains and promoting sustainable transport. Our passion for innovation and respect for the environment drives us to create mobility solutions that change how people are transported.

We believe trains are more than just a means of transportation. They are a tool for promoting sustainabilityefficiency, and social well-being, which is why our trains are aligned with sustainability principles. Through our high-efficiency traction technology, electric and hydrogen propulsion, and the use of recyclable materials, we strive to minimise environmental impact and maximise the energy efficiency of our products. 

We provide safe, comfortable, and accessible mobility solutions for everyone. We are proud to lead rail transport towards a greener, more connected future, offering customers—and the wider world—an alternative that combines innovation with environmental responsibility.

We create mobility solutions that change the way people are transported

Why choose the train?

Section background

Sustainable mobility

It has the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger and kilometre of any other collective transport method and stands out for its low energy consumption. Advanced technologies, such as high-efficiency traction, electric and hydrogen propulsion, energy storage, recyclable materials, and regenerative braking, enable the train to optimise its efficiency and sustainability.

Greater confort and safety

Travelling by train is safe and comfortable. Unlike airports, train stations are often located in town and city centres, making them easier to reach. Boarding times are quick, and luggage restrictions are more flexible. Trains are also more accessible, with areas for wheelchairs, adapted WCs, and access ramps ensuring an inclusive experience for all passengers.

Large capacity and flexibility

Trains can carry large numbers of passengers and goods, and metros and trams can transport a significant number of people with minimal environmental impact. The push for innovation has led to automated driving, increasing frequency and capacity, and modular design, which allows fleets to be adjusted according to demand. Intermodality with other transport modes offers greater flexibility to users.

Transport without borders

The rail sector strengthens social and economic cohesion between regions. Interoperability technologies enable international connections, boosting the movement of people and goods. The implementation of ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) standardises signalling systems, improving the capacity and safety of the European rail network.

New digital services

Digitalisation is transforming the rail industry with a new generation of connected trains and more competitive services. Data acquisition and advanced analytics allow real-time fleet monitoring and maintenance optimisation based on the current condition of trains. This maximises fleet availability, improves energy efficiency, and ensures safety.
